A man has appeared in court accused of stabbing a woman inside a Dundee wallpaper shop.

Gordon Ayre is alleged to have assaulted a woman leaving her scarred for life at the Select Wallpaper store at West Pitkerro Industrial Estate in Dundee on August 2.

He appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court to face a single charge on petition.

During a brief private hearing he made no plea or declaration and the case was continued for further examination.

Ayre was remanded in custody meantime and is due back in court later this week for a further hearing.
